The Colors of Your Soul

A Masterpiece For You~

(Final Part)

"So this is the Auction House..." I stood still as I took in the rich atmosphere. Even though I'm a top idol in my prime, I felt like my wallet was draining with each breath I took.

My eyes drift around the people passing me, probably from the 1% of the world. their heavy perfume was suffocating me. If it wasn't for my mask, I would have probably been on my knees the moment I got close to them.

"Eliana!" I heard my voice being shouted in the distance. My eyes darted around the massive room, soon locking eyes with Anne from above. "She has her own private room...?"

The walk towards her balcony was a bit straining, but nonetheless, I made it just in time. The private room she was in was spacious and expensive, littered with all sorts of various products that looked like it would be worth 6-7 digits. "Am I late?"

"You're just in time." She answered as she poured champagne on the two glasses on the table. "Have a seat." She motioned, pointing at the empty chair next to hair while sliding the glass to the other side of the table.

"When will the auction start?"

"Right now. There are 15 works in total that's going to be shown." She took a sip of her glass, her lips glossy as she pursed her lips to taste the flavor. "Mine will be in between the 7th or 8th showing."

Her eyes were only staring at the stage, checking at her wrist, a wristwatch showing the time left before the start. "Get comfortable. Because this is gonna take a while."

"Right..."

========================

We're finally at the Halfway point of the bidding auction. These people have been throwing money at the most random stuff, Like a hand carved with stone, a... Toothbrush?

The last bidding was sold at 50 million and it was shredded into pieces. I was shocked to say the least that a painting worth that much would be ripped apart all willy-nilly. I don't really know the symbolism, but the one who won that piece was angered and he stormed off the place.

But, it's finally time. The next item to be auctioned was Anne's. "It's finally time. Get ready." She said, leaning back against the chair cushion, spinning the glass in her hands as it twirls wildly like a maelstrom.

I stand up, walking up to the balcony as the announcer's muffled voice slowly turns loud and clear as I got closer to the edge. The bidders from below were silent, grasping on to the number they were holding. Everything was intense...

A person from the backstage soon pushed out 3 tall objects, covered by a large white sheet over them. "They're huge... Is that your work, Anne?" She nodded, placing the empty glass on the table as she retreated to the restroom. She must have drank a lot.

"AND NOW!" The announcer shouted, gaining everyone's attention. "We will now reveal to you the most awaited piece of today's auction!" The crowd was silent, yet deep down. They were just as excited as the next person sitting next to them.

========================

(NSFW Incoming: Gore)

He snaps his fingers, casting an echo throughout the room as the lights go off, leaving only the spotlight pointed at the 3 objects. "T-This is getting intense...right, Anne...?" No response. I look behind me seeing her nowhere in sight.

I was going to look for her, only to be stopped by the announcer's voice once more. The three assistants pull off the large sheet of blanket, revealing... The... What the fuck...?

"Starting price! 10 Million!" The announcer shouted with a wild look on his face. My legs... My legs are shaking... I feel dizzy... I want to puke... But, I can't look... AWAY!
